I`v got a blue Ninja which is a bit scuffed. Does anyone have any tips on tidying it up.
Thanks
Rab.

Paint it a nice pink colour, some nice coving
round the lid and a dado rail round the middle.
Then hang some Laura Ashley curtains and
it'll look lovely.

Simply tell your clients you've gone for the distressed look....
....and you've made your machine look the same.

Heat gun as mentioned or a blow torch. Helps burn off all the little nicks and scratches but be careful don't linger on one area just a gentle going over.
Then polish up with bumper renovator.

Thanks Matthew and John. That`s what I was thinking, cheers for the confirmation.
I really like it Oliver. I`v got the 400 psi number and the hot solvent carry on. No idea how it works or if it`s useful, just know it adds a lot of extra weight which aint good.
If anyone`s found the hot solvent useful I`d be really interested.
Cheers
Rodger, I`m trying my best to hide my distressed look.

Hi Rab
They are good little machines as long as the pumps last.
Out grown mine though.
Going for a storm seen the turbo in action and the gap between mine and that is massive
Enjoyed using it good machine foe some one down the line

I've used the hot solvent on viscose/rayon suites....just takes any worry away about browning or pile distortion, sourced some cheap solvent from A*t*c so not mega bucks to custy. Works well on cotton velvets and expensive curtains without risk. Not as effective as hwe tho.

I painted one with hermitite You know that paint use on rust,
Did try rubbing compound but no real effect but only tried for a few minutes.
I believe you can get a paint called plasticote which is probably correct one to use

Rab, you could get the metaphorical paper bag over its head... just fit it with a rain cover!
The yellow ones don't show up the scuffing anywhere near as bad. Shame I sold my yellow one, got a blue one myself now!
